side molding no more

first of all i would like to thank SSwt00SS and Y2KPewterSS for their write ups and encouragement on this mod. it looks pretty decent for a car that gets the hell beat out of it.

this is in no way comparable to brian's and preston's cars but i took a crack at it anyway....

here is the original trim.

i took the hairdryer to it after i got done with my mid-morning perm...

well, in short because the rears were free. 17 inch wheels with brand new 275 40s on them so i couldnt let that pass up.

i just dont have enough money for wheels right now and i mount my drag radials on the 17s occasionally.

i like the staggered set up myself and it gives it a decent stance since i probably wont lower it anytime soon.

if you see any deals on z06 wheels or torq thrust 2s let me know. i think it would help alot in the looks dept.

btw preston, im doing a berger panel either today or tomorrow. you want me to do a writeup???

Chrome Z06 wheels look great on pewter Camaro's. You would be real happy with those. Watch TomZwheels, he runs them around $600 for an entire set fairly often.

If you could do a write up on the Berger panel that would be fantastic, we don't have one currently that I recall. Be sure to get some pics during the process as well :yup: :yay:

is it the same on a T/A? does anyone have any pics of this mod on a T/A? oh yeah, it looks good by the way!!

looks great man. really cleans up the car. my old 95 z28 was silver and your car looks a lot cleaner with the trim off...:thumbup:

now, lets see the berger panel...:D
